For any of you who might have thought that the US population today is any different from the German population of the early 40s: Here we have citizens turning in a fellow citizen to the feebs much as germans would turn in jew the the gestapo. HE WAS TAKING PICTURES!!!

And FBI Agent David Pileggi

Any relation to Mitch Pileggi, the actor who played FBI Assistant Director Skinner on The X-Files?

Galindo told the agent that he volunteers for a NWS program called Skywarn that trains citizens to monitor the weather in the name of “protecting lives and property.”

Skywarn are mostly crazy ham radio operators who climb on their roofs when sane people are going down into their basements. Before modern doppler radars their sightings were the primary source for tornado warnings.

For those familiar with usenet, there’s a group “alt.binaries.pictures.weather” that’s still somewhat active.

I am an advanced trained weather spotter for our local Amateur Radio Skywarn program and I will share this article with others in the group.

"“He told me, ‘you’re not a threat and you are doing a public service but just be careful next time,’” Galindo said in a telephone interview with Photography is Not a Crime."

And the lesson transmitted was to submit. Comply. What would have happened has the photographer told the agent to leave and not come back without a warrant and asserted his rights not to answer questions without an attorney present?

Several years ago I stopped on a snow covered bridge on Hwy 412 near Ft Supply Oklahoma to take a photo of the ice covered river.

I barely got out of my truck when a law enforcement officer pulled up and began to grill me on ...”Why have you stopped on this bridge! Didn’t you see that prison there! Move on!”

I simply said, “just as soon as I get my picture”. I then snapped a few photos of the frozen river, then got in and left.

There just to the west of the river was a new prison next to the highway, and on the hills to the north lots of wind farms.

Why? Because the first amendment says that he can! There's no excuse for the federal government to harass somebody for taking pictures in public, and especially pictures of weather!

“A man who snapped photos of a brewing storm last month received a visit Friday from an FBI Agent, inquiring why he would want to take such photos.”

“I was pretty freaked out when he came but I had no idea what it was about,”

Don't ever freak out. No point. It's not so much what one doesn't know that will get one in trouble and lead to a massive waste of time at incredible expense, it's what you know that isn't so.

You will not properly use profiling to talk to the individuals you should be talking to and waste our taxpayer dollars talking to those you should leave alone. The entire government has become a joke, striking out here and there against imagined enemies while the real enemies either sit down and eat meals with their intended victims or waltz around in plain sight unimpeded in their missions.

Taking Pictures of any power lines or generators is a big No No.

I don’t think there is a law but it all gets reported to DHS.
